Remove the besan from the pot and set it aside in a bowl for now.; Add the sweet potatoes and water to the pot.

I make the vrat ka halwa similar to making rava kesari or sooji halwa.

The flours have to be roasted well in ghee to get a good aroma, texture and taste.

Suji Halwa The next best thing after wheat is semolina or suji or rava to make a delicious halwa.
